Australian banking group chooses Informatica and Snowflake for digital transformation strategy to deliver more personalized banking.
P&N Group in Australia has engaged Informatica and Snowflake for cloud analytics modernization, encompassing Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud’s AI-powered cloud-native services including data ingestion and orchestration, data quality and data governance on Snowflake Data Cloud for reporting, analytics and data science.
As a leading customer-owned banking group in Australia, P&N Group is poised to grow its national presence and footprint through its bank brands, P&N Bank in Western Australia and BCU Bank in New South Wales and south-east Queensland.
The new technology partnership with Informatica and Snowflake is part of P&N Group’s digital transformation strategy that aims to deliver more personalized banking for its customers, while ensuring the protection and integrity of customer data.
The Informatica and Snowflake solution will give P&N Group greater business agility by rapidly scaling high data volumes and removing siloed data across P&N Bank and BCU Bank systems to derive meaningful insights.
This will help the bank’s data science team better support customer satisfaction, retention and the overall customer experience. It will also provide the bank with more robust data management for regulatory reporting purposes.
